Don’t forget the Carnival of Feminists No 2, coming up on Personal Political on Wednesday. Follow the link for the guidelines and nominate your best recent post now! And if you missed No 1, it is here.

Nominations (including self-nominations) for Femmes Fatales are also hugely welcome – I’ll probably get to you eventually anyway, but why not hurry along the process?
